#7 Bobby Roode

Roode was one of TNA biggest stars ever.
Roode was one of TNA biggest stars ever.

Ever since making his debut on the SmackDown after Summerslam 2017, Bobby Roode has had a hot and cold run on the main roster.

Despite having a successful stint in NXT, Bobby Roode's has been rather bland as a face on the main roster and, barring his US Title win, has been treated poorly on both rosters.

The same, however, cannot be said about his tenure before his arrival in the WWE. As a member of the TNA roster for almost 12 years, Roode, wrestling with his real full name, was part of the most successful Tag Team, Beer Money Inc, in TNA's history along with James Storm and was one of the biggest heel during his final years.

In TNA/Impact Wrestling, Roode was a two-time World Heavyweight Champion, with his first reign officially being the longest in the history of the promotion.

Apart from that, he held the Tag-Team Title eight times in the promotion and even won the King of the Mountain championship in 2015.
